What are your thoughts on Youth Bowl Canada or perhaps youth bowling in general. While I agree that bowling is a fun and active social activity, there are potential risks (both short term and long term) associated with over-emphatic sphere launching.
I mean look at this list of bowling related injuries:
Elbow Tendonitis
Wrist Tendonitis
Anular ligament sprain
Lateral Epicondylitis
Shoulder Tendonitis
Rotator Cuff Tear
Shoulder Instability
Knee Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
Knee Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
Knee Meniscus Tear
Patellar Femoral Syndrome (PFPS)
Illiotibial Band Syndrome (ITB)
Hip Bursitis
Piriformis Syndrome
Sciatic Nerve Irritation
Arthritis
Low Back Pain
Herniated Disc
Lumbar Strain and Sprain
Spondylolysis
To expose youth to these types of potentially long-term and debilitating injuries via overzealous orb propelling needs to at least be explored further and at most completely shut down. Not unlike threads on WWE these days.
But back to the overly enthusiastic tossing of rotundial projectiles. Thoughts?
